Pro tip: After combining your meat and rice mixture, refrigerate it for ~20 minutes — it thickens up and makes rolling the burritos way easier.
Freezing/Reheating:
Store burritos in the freezer. To reheat: remove from the freezer, wrap in a paper towel, microwave for 2 minutes, then crisp up by air frying at 375°F for 6–8 minutes, or pan fry for a golden finish.
